Why oh why do Pipe Bands wear kilt pins!?
There's no going back- once all the band kilts have holes and stains you have to keep wearing kilt pins to hide the damage.
When I joined our band, our PM measured me for a new kilt, which I purchased myself. All the other kit was supplied, including a kilt pin with two large posts to go through the apron. I took the pin to a jeweler to have the posts replaced with a more conventional fastener.
